Mastersingers USA
Born from a shared love of male choral music, Mastersingers USA gathers singers once a year for an intensive retreat and triennial European tours, creating a brotherhood defined by musical excellence.
A Chorus Unlike
Any Other
Mastersingers USA brings together men who love to sing at the highest level. Once a year, we gather from across the country for an intensive weekend of rehearsal and performance. Every few years, we tour Europe's great cathedrals and concert halls performing demanding repertoire - from sacred motets and Renaissance Masses to folk songs, spirituals and contemporary works - taking audiences on a musical journey that spans centuries. We're a national men's chorus built on annual commitment, musical excellence, and lifelong brotherhood.

The repertoire we sing
across centuries
From Renaissance polyphony to contemporary works and American spirituals, our repertoire is as diverse as the men who sing it.
Sacred & Classical
Motets and Masses form the foundation of our repertoire, connecting us to centuries of choral tradition.
American Folksongs and Spirituals
Our own nation reflects various regional, ethnic and cultural traditions inspiring a representative sampling.
World Folksongs
We love singing national anthems and indigenous folksongs in the languages of the countries we visit, creating bonds of global unity.
Contemporary
Living composers challenge us with new works that push the boundaries of what men’s voices can achieve.

Why we keep coming back
"Every single guy cares. Being around singers who show up to rehearsal ready to work for a beautiful sound, you want to bring that energy too."
"Over the decades, men singing together create moments that can stop time. Mastersingers has given me ones I treasure - like singing a mass performed centuries before at Notre Dame in Paris under that enormous rose window."
Director Kerry Brennan
We sing under the leadership of our musical director Kerry Brennan, a founding member of Mastersingers since its inception.
